TEMPERATURE OF SPARK DISCHARGE CHANNEL (in Russian)
The temperatures in spark discharge channels in argon, xenon, and nitrogen were mcasured along the channel spectral luminosity density at wave lengths corresponding to the gravity center of lines and at various energy entrance rates. The linear emissions were studied in argon at wave length lambda 4806, 4348, and 3588 A; in xenon at lambda 2900 and 2600 A. It was found that the temperature of the spark discharge channel is not dependent on the energy entrance rate. The obtained channel discharge temperature in nitrogen (T approximately 43,OOO deg K) agrees well with the published data on nitrogen temperature obtained by spectroscopic methods. It is assumed that the temperature distribution across the spark discharge channel is uniform. The obtained results are given for the case of opened spark discharge; in the case of discharge channels restricted by capillary walls or pinch effect the temperature should be higher. (R.V.J.)
